Product Description

We’re big fans of the Gold Tone GM-6+ Guitar Mandolin with built-in bridge pickup. The sound is completely true to the mandolin, while the fingering doesn’t trip up guitar players. And being tuned a full octave higher than the guitar, players don’t even need to transpose—just pick up and play.

In addition to offering excellent acoustic tone from its solid top and back, the GM-6+ features a super-output bridge-mounted pickup. No more straining to get close to the mic—you'll be heard now. Other features include a radiused ebony fingerboard, truss rod, hand-rubbed oil finish and hardshell case.

We sell a lot of nice mandolins at Corner Music (there’s no shortage of great mando players in Nashville). But the GM-6+ absolutely fills a niche. It can provide the mandolin’s chop rhythm for bluegrass, country or Americana. The radiused fingerboard, wider neck and low action allow for easy fingering. This is a great recording or live tool for guitarists who want true mandolin tone without having to learn a new instrument.
